This holiday used to cause such heartache in my life when I was younger.. I was a complete disaster when it came to the dating world and inevitably would screw up any relationship right before any big holiday. So, needless to say Valentines day was not my favorite holiday… it was basically a day for me to acknowledge that I sucked at dating. Thank god – by the time I met my husband in Vegas I had realized what my big hang up was. How could anyone else think I was fabulous …unless I thought I was fabulous. It only took 27 years – but I finally got it and I have to thank … wait for it… drum roll please….. The movie “Office Space”. I watched that movie while I was practically homeless living in Playa del Rey… almost destitute since I spent every last dime from a inheritance. For some reason that movie made sense in my small little world. For years I had thought everyone else was fabulous and I was lucky to be with them and that soon they would realize that they were better then me and move on. All of a sudden after watching this movie.. .BAM -Wait.. they are lucky to be with me too. Once I changed my perspective and started to believe in the core of who I knew I was – my career took off – I moved to NYC – settled into the most amazing relationship I had ever had (with my now husband) – my friendships grew stronger – because I believed in myself. So thank you “Office Space” for changing my perspective. I am forever indebted to you…
